Overview
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the Institute of Education Sciences, the AERA Grants Program announces its Dissertation Grants Program. The program's goals are: (1) to stimulate research on U.S. education policy- and practice-related issues using NCES and NSF data sets; (2) to improve the educational research community's firsthand knowledge of the range of data available at the two agencies and how to use them; and (3) to increase the number of educational researchers using the data sets. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
AERA invites education policy- and practice-related dissertation proposals using NCES, NSF, and other national databases. Dissertation Grants are available for advanced doctoral students and are intended to support the student while writing the doctoral dissertation.
Additional Information Regarding Dissertation GrantsApplicants should choose research topics that can be supported by the samples and variables contained in the proposed data set. Applicants should be familiar with statistical methods and available computer programs that allow for sophisticated analyses of the selected data. It is also important to select a topic that has policy relevance and that models to be tested include predictor variables that are manipulable (e.g., course work in mathematics, instructional practices used by teachers, parental involvement). Applicants should also be familiar with the specific data set's User Guides and/or Manuals (e.g., use of design weights and design effects).
The AERA Grants Program has funded over 250 grant proposals to date. Applicants are encouraged to review the lists of Funded Research Grants and Funded Dissertation Grants to ensure that their proposed project has not already been done.
Eligibility Applicants for Dissertation Grants may be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or non-U.S. citizens. Applicants should be advanced doctoral students at the dissertation writing stage. Underrepresented minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
Award amount Awards for Dissertation Grants are up to $20,000 for 1-year projects. Grants are not renewable. In accordance with AERA's agreement with the funding agencies, institutions may not charge indirect costs on these awards. All awards are contingent upon AERA's receiving continued federal funding.
